Can you say beautiful/historic location (Santa Barbara Mission) beautiful and fun couple mixed with a reception filled with great music from both Johnny Polanco Y su conjunto amistad (Salsa Band) and Josh of Goodbeat Productions made for a truly fun and memorable wedding.
Not trying to challenge any future brides with this, but I believe Jaime and Carmen are the first couple to actually get Cheryl and I to join them on the dance floor. I have a true case of white-boyism in which my legs and body just don’t move to the music, but Carmen forced me to dance with her for an entire song, and really, it was a blast! Now if only I had a picture of it…

Kelly of SB Event Coordinators did a great job of keeping things moving free of stress! Gary and Harlene of You’re the Star Video Productions were there to capture the day with their video cameras, while Katie from Montecito Confections create a cake that was oh so yummy (yes, I tried a piece or two).
Amy from Ambient Designs create some very nice floral arrangements and the crew at the Doubletree’s Salon Del Mar did a beautiful job with all of the hair and makeup!

We just got home from a really fun and relaxing trip with some of our college friends from our days at Brooks. We met up with Jesse and Holly Dacanay (it was Jesse’s b-day and the reason for the trip!) and met Taylor Abeel, Stephen Abbas and Peter Dawson! What a fun group and so much talent!! (Jesse is a police officer and administered sobriety checks which was interesting to learn about and partake in)
My random fence shot:

I borrowed Peter’s tripod and ND filter and basically copied the amazing shot I saw him taking, so beautiful!

We had such a blast this weekend traveling down to San Diego to the Hotel Del Coronado for Garrett and Gina’s wedding. I have known this awesome group of friends and family for a few years now and it was really neat to see so many familiar faces at this wedding.
A beautiful couple, an amazing location and one fun party, what more can a photographer ask for to make the day easier on them!
